With this program, everything becomes clear. From your videos even though they are just short, I learned more than the accumulation of what I tried to learn on Youtube!
The videos are well produced - very concise with the knowledge. The environment on the farm days had been supportive and safe for the learning.
After the course, I learn to ‘see’ things in their potential as being a resource for the land.  I feel ready to start immediately when I get back to my garden!
The course materials are very informative and easy to follow. Good job on the platform!
I came with a mission to learn how to start a sustainable farm for my family but left with more knowledge than I expected. You guys really changed my perspective of living sustainably in a really good way.
